Today's earlier post featured a bridal and couple session complete with a bride in cowboy boots, so I thought it would be fun to feature some western wedding invitations for those looking to have a ranch wedding.

Invitations featured above {left to right}:

Matchbook Style Country Chic Wedding Invitation from Lani Blue Stationery on etsy

Western-theme Wedding Invitation {poster style} from Elum Designs, found via bride.ca

And, the following invitation is perfect for a western themed bridal shower or even a bachelorette party, it's from Western Wedlock Invitations.

As soon as I came across this bridal and couple session of Erin and Ellis I knew I had to contact Nancy of Nancy Hellsten Photography for a feature. There's something so beautiful about a bride in a natural outdoor setting in her wedding gown.
The couple chose to do their session on a day after the wedding, which also allowed for better weather than their actual wedding day.

Nancy also says there are several advantages when choosing to do the session
on a later day in addition to it allowing for a more relaxed wedding day.
1. The bride can look her best for the ceremony and not worry about getting dirty or disheveled during photos.
2. More time can also be spent on the photos
3. The couple doesn't need to see one another before the ceremony
Erin and Ellis were married at Blackberry Farm in Walland, TN and spent a few additional honeymoon days there after the wedding which let them practically have the place to themselves for the photo shoot. Since Erin is a real country girl {notice the cowgirl boots} and her family have horses in Kentucky, they borrowed one of Blackberry's during the session. Nancy's picture taking is superb and the photos are so natural looking and the scenery is amazing.
Thank you Nancy for letting me share these gorgeous photos with my readers today. To see more from Nancy, please visit her website and blog. More photos from Erin and Ellis' couple session can be found here. And, if you'd like to see the wedding of Erin and Ellis, please click here.

Coming up later morning I'll be showcasing coordinating western themed invitations.
